<p>The upscale pub has a four-season patio facing Main Street in the Riverplace mall, and inside there’s a small stage for live music and other performances.</p>
<p>Wilde Roast co-owners Dean Schlaak and Tom DeGree teamed up with their longtime friend Brian Gilligan to renovate the former Kikugawa sushi restaurant.</p>
<p>The restaurant's official name is Mattie St. Clair's House of Spirits on Main Street, named after a well-known brothel owner that operated in the area in the late 1800s.</p>
<p>Mattie’s is open 11 a.m. until 1 a.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 a.m. during weekends.</p>

<p>Construction started right next door to Wilde Roast about a month ago in the former home of Kikugawa on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River. Mattie’s will feature a year-round patio built in the glass atrium on the outside of Riverplace and will have a stage for a variety of live music and entertainment.</p>
<p>The entertainment will create a “dinner and a show” type atmosphere generally offered four or five nights a week.</p>
<p>The menu has upscale pub food: pizza rolls made from scratch, burgers, wings, onion rings, alcoholic shakes and desserts made by Wilde Roast Pastry Chef Jeff Christianson.</p>
<p>Mattie’s on Main is nearing the end of <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/21713142/matties-on-main-fresh-minneapolis-riverfront-enter">a Kickstarter campaign</a> to help purchase a top-quality entertainment system and retractable windows in the year-round patio.</p>
<p>It will be open 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.</p>
